Marcus Rashford’s future has been the subject of intense speculation this January.
The 27-year-old England international has struggled in recent seasons, scoring just 11 league goals over the last two campaigns.
Rashford has not played for Manchester United since their Europa League win over Viktoria Plzen on December 12.
The forward revealed he is seeking a ‘new challenge’ away from Old Trafford after being left out of last month’s Manchester derby.
Ruben Amorim has been critical of Rashford’s attitude and professionalism since taking charge of United.

Last weekend, he claimed he would rather select the club’s 63-year-old goalkeeping coach than a player “not giving the maximum every day.”
United are reportedly open to offers for Rashford, with several top European clubs showing interest.
AC Milan, Fenerbahce, Borussia Dortmund, and Barcelona have all been linked with a move for the forward.
Additionally, United have received three bids from unnamed Saudi Pro League clubs.
However, Rashford is reportedly not interested in a move to the Middle East.
Carlton Cole has now weighed in on the situation during an appearance on The Dressing Room Podcast.
The former England and West Ham striker criticised Amorim for his comments about Rashford.

Cole said, “Ruben Amorim is killing him and you’re killing his price tag as well, by the way.”
He added, “Rashford is a commodity, he’s money. If you really want to sell him on, why would you say that?!”
Cole also accused Amorim of being naive and acting out of emotion.
“He’s thinking, ‘Rashford’s not doing what I’m saying and I’m the boss!’” Cole said.
According to Cole, United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe should step in and tell Amorim to “shut your mouth.”
He stressed, “We’re trying to sell him here and you’re saying that he’s not living the right lifestyle!”
Cole believes Ratcliffe needs to tell Amorim to stay out of the Rashford situation.
“There has got to be communication,” he added, suggesting that the club needs to focus on a potential deal for the forward.
